My Chariot

So, today going to work, five minutes into my commute I could tell I was going to have one of those I hate everyone transit commute days. Come on, people, learn how to act.  If you've never ridden MUNI, get ready. If you're currently waiting for MUNI, um, good luck. In any case, it reminded me of one thing I'm really excited for about going to UCSF for, which is totally unrelated to the actual top-notch learning I get to do: the UCSF shuttle system!!! Even though I have yet to actually ride the shuttle, I am already positive it is my own, personal chariot. Sure, I can share it with others. But it's so plush, and efficient and drama-free (most of the time), that I just can't wait to take it.  I created this picture to express my dreams and aspirations for riding the UCSF shuttle to/from home/campus/clinical sites. I mean, MUNI charges me $2 to burrow my way on board just to then try to hang on for dear life as it jolts away (assuming the bus even comes or stops for me. Big assumption.). Plus, see above links for the kind of crazy you risk by being on board. But my chariot? It's free! Well, free because I will have already paid one trillion dollars in tuition.  But free! I simply cannot wait. In the mean time, I might channel my MUNI frustration into creativity. Maybe.
